The holidays are upon us! We’re definitely ready to enjoy delicious holiday treats and spend quality time with family and friends. However, shopping for the perfect gift can be hard, especially if your loved one is gluten free. Don’t stress! We’ve put together 10 gift options that are great for anyone following a GF diet. Spend less time brainstorming and more time doing the things you enjoy…like cozying up to the fire with a big mug of hot chocolate!

1. Seasonal gluten-free baking mixes

Nothing says the holidays like baked goods! Scan the baking aisle of your local grocery store and you’ll likely find some gluten-free options. King Arthur Flour, Breads From Anna,  Whole Note Bakery, Simple Mills, Enjoy Life and Pamela’s carry delicious gluten-free mixes. Get crafty and put together your own gift basket complete with baking mixes, recipe cards and any additional ingredients needed.

 

2. Gluten-free chocolate or candy

Who doesn’t love a sweet treat now and again? (Or daily!) Put together a basket with some gluten-free goodies, and it’s sure to be a hit! Amore di Mona Chocolate, Pascha Chocolate, No Whey Chocolate & Surf Sweets should definitely be included.

3. Gluten-free monthly subscription box

Want to buy gluten-free goodies as a gift, but don’t know where to start? Let someone else do the work for you. Your gluten-free friends would love getting a bundle of items shipped straight to their doors each month! Love With Food does just that, plus they’re offering 25% off your first box.

4. Gift certificate to an online health food store

Why not give the gift of shopping so your recipients can pick out exactly what they want in the comfort of their own homes? Gift cards are quick, easy and greatly appreciated. How about one to an online grocery store known to carry gluten-free foods? Thrive Market and Vitacost are both great options.

5. Gluten-free cooking classes

Cooking and baking gluten-free food can be challenging, even for seasoned veterans. Search online to see what cooking classes are available near your gluten-free loved one. He or she will greatly thank you!

6. Gluten-free cookbooks

Everyone likes trying new recipes! Cookbooks are staple items in a gluten-free kitchen, and it’s just impossible to have too many. Some books we recommend include Gluten-Free Baking Classics, 100 Best Gluten Free Recipes, BabyCakes Covers the Classics and Incredibly Easy Gluten-Free Recipes.

7. Gluten-free bread maker

Making your own bread sounds daunting, but this Cuisinart Bread Maker has a gluten-free setting! Bring on the homemade bread, please 🙂

 8. Gluten-free skincare, beauty or wellness products

Did you know some people react to gluten even in skincare and household items? Red Apple Lipstick has a whole line of gluten-free makeup and Dr. Hauschka Skin Care has a wonderful line of natural skin care products. Another great gift option to promote body wellness is doTERRA Essential Oils.

 

9. Subscription to a gluten-free or health magazine

Who doesn’t love getting mail? With a magazine subscription, it’s like getting a little present each month! Opt for something special-diet focused, like Delight Gluten Free Magazine, Paleo Magazine and Allergic Living, or something more general like Health Magazine.

10. Gift certificate to a gluten-free restaurant

There are a lot of restaurants these days that cater to a gluten-free diet. Use Find Me Gluten Free to search for local businesses in your area, or opt for a gift certificate to a chain like P.F. Changs, Cheesecake Factory or even Chipotle!
